he saw the evolution from well before even the president had won election. and he saw it firsthand how the president wanted to lift the embargo, get involved, have u.s. leadership. and reading through the documents they are fascinated. they talk about how do we have next steps early on. and the possibility of a serbian began conditional yes. and what would we do if it happens? would we put troops in if succeeds. the good news if it succeeded great. the bad news we had to put troops in there and all sort of debates with congress about lifting the arms embargo. i think probably the most interesting for me are the leadup to the boss knee began end game where it leading up to until july of 1995, where the president finally decided he's going it take charge and drove process of the marriage diplomacy that ended up in the date. in july of 1995 you write to your colleagues including madeline and leon. eyes only memo. in other words they weren't able to make copies to their staff. it's extremely sensitive. it's one of the crown jewel of the intelligence documents. r

even though there was a prime minister too early election where the leadership of the country changed hands. so we're living in a world where it's easy to blur the lines. but i think it's important to recognize that what they did in bosnia was of lasting and enduring benefit. and the cooperative mechanism that was established to share information and to do it in a responsive, straightforward way is a good role model that ought to be followed in the future. it's not one of those lessons, to quote one of the things in the book, that ought to have to be relearned. i like former secretary of state jim baker very much, but when he said in response to the trouble in bosnia we don't have a dog in that fight, i think he was wrong. we did have a dog in the bosnian fight, and we still do. what was the end of the cold war going to mean? the rise of chaos? or the rise of democracy, prosperity and cooperation? if you want it to be the latter instead of the former, no matter how thorny bosnia had become, no matter how much blood had been shed, no matter how much determination there was for destruct
